Concerning sites that offer people the ability to listen to music for free w/out being able to burn it unless purchased--such as Yahoo Japan as stated in the news article in the afterdawn news section, and I think either Napster or itunes does too, is there a program out there that can "get around" that sort of thing? I know there are programs that allow you to record streaming music such as from internet radio. Would this be the same kind of thing?

well if you can actually get the URL link for the streaming audio, you can easily capture it with something like Net Transport or Stream Box. Even winamp has a plugin to record streaming music. I capture the Digitally Imported trance streams all the time

When you say you "capture" the streams, can you also burn them? That's my main concern. Where do you get the Digitally Imported trance streams from? Are you talking about a particular site?
I just installed Mercora IMRadio and it seems like a pretty good service. I think you can record songs to your computer but you can't burn them. Have you (or anyone else) tried this program? I'd like some opinions or feedback on this one. Thanks.

Digitally Imported is just a company that has several electronic music mp3 streams that I capture.
To answer your question, yes you can burn them. I use the plugin for winamp (you can find it under the plugin section at winamp.com) and as long as you capture the entire song from beginning to end, you will end up with the entire mp3. It automatically tags the file for you and everything. The other apps I'm not sure exactly how they work when capturing audio, I only use Net Transport to capture video streams, but I'm sure it will work as well.
Anyways, you end up with just an mp3 (as far as the mp3 streams go) so you can easily burn them to audio CD using a buring app like Nero

Thanks for the quick response djscoop. One more small question just to clarify, if you don't mind. The site you mentioned, Digitally Imported, is it one of those sites that says you can only "listen" or stream the music from their site and not burn, therefore forcing people like us to look for apps that will capture those streams and burn them anyway. Even though they say you can't burn them ;-) wink wink.

yeah precisely. they figure that everyone out there is as smart as a caveman, but forgets that there are clever people out there like us afterdawn members. using simple streaming capture tools you can easily download the streams and burn to cd.

Well, I'm not big into electronic music but it does have a little variety in the skyfm channel. Cool looking site too. Music started playing right away and sounded really good. I'll keep looking for some sites like this one that lean a little more towards my musical tastes. Thanks for the help. It's beddy-bye time!

I?ve been capturing steaming audio from bell south, similar to yahoo music using an http media tuner/player. Do you know of any ideas to also capture the artist info too?
The label content is supplied in their player..

I guess it depends on what format the yahoo streaming music is in. When I capture the Digitally Importet streams, they are streaming mp3s, so winamp reads their tags and marks the files accordingly. So I'm not sure if the same would work for other streaming formats as well. If you need a good tag editor program though, give Tag&Rename a try

My ISP, Bellsouth, provides music streams @128 kbs. BS streams WMA's
and uses a java script window to provide artist content, media tuner features and I think site login.
I'm able to record high quality streams by using cool edit, but have not found a compatible player to capture music streams and artist tags together. So I'm using software called webassitant that works through a proxy protocol to store cache content like web images, scripts and even the ?artist info? in folders for retrieval at a later time. It works but is a clumsy solution. I?ve also noticed the artist info no longer displays in the java script media tuner window provide by Bellsouth.
Any other thoughts.

Using the WinAMP-Stream plugin you can record any stream that is currently playing on WinAMP radio. It will make tracks and everything in the Mp3 format.

I've been checking out winamp.com to get a feel for how it works. So you can only get the plugin to rip and burn the songs if you purchase winamp as opposed to using the free version? Then I'm assuming you have the purchased version, right? So basically the only thing I can do with the free version is listen to songs? If I just have the free version, could I use Net Transport or Streambox to capture the songs and then burn w/ some other software?

Think of it as "dubbing" a tape from the radio. Whatever it was then it is now.
About bearshare, don't use it! the light version is mostly crap, and the basic (free) version is full of adware. The pay-version is just the free version without the adware. Checkout: LimeWire and/or Shareaza if you want high quality downloads.

yeah bearshare sucks. for downloading music, use soul seek.
fishbulb:
about winamp, stick with the basic free version. although the pro version does have all the ripping/burning features, I just use my winamp to play mp3s, and listen/capture streams. If I want to burn an mp3 or audio CD, I just use Nero. So exactly, just capture the streams with Streambox and burn with other software.

Could you post a link for soul seek? I did a search but came up w/ at least 4 different sites by that name. Not sure which one is legit.
